Welcome to the White/Brown Ajah's Winter Olympics Carnival Pictophone Game!

We are going to do things a bit different since we don't have enough players for teams. Here are the rules/directions:

Using a random generator, your names will be put in order forum 1 to 6. Person 1 will start us off. I will send them a word/phrase. They will have roughly 24 hours to draw a picture that best captures that phrase. This could be done in any number of ways—for example, breaking down the phrase into each word, or doing a larger, all encompassing drawing to represent the phrase. Player 1 will send their drawing to Player 2 (with ME copied in the PM), who will then interpret the drawing into a phrase. They will have roughly 24 hours to send the phrase to Player 3. Player 3 turns the phrase into a picture, and sends it to Player 4. Player 4 turns the picture into a phrase, and sends it to Player 5. Player 5 draws a picture and sends it to Player 6, who has to interpret. Once Player 6 is finished and they send it to me, I will post their phrase and we can see how it's changed from the original phrase. Once the round is over, I will post the drawings as well. :D

Points will be awarded as I see fit—ie, there's no general rule. For example, if Player 2 guesses two of the three words, I would give 5 points for each correct word. Or, if Player 3's drawing is very clever, I will give out merit points for that (again, it's not artistic ability we're looking for).

With the set-up being this way, I'm sure we can get through a couple rounds. For Round 2, we will move every player up one spot, so people who drew in Round 1 will guess in Round 2; people who guessed in Round 1 will draw in Round 2. We can play as many rounds in the time we have!

So, here is the line-up for Round 2 (including Round 1 Points):

1. Kukasö - 4
2. Theodora - 5
3. Aiel Heart - 4
4. TylerRVG - 4
5. Chaelca - 5
6. Rhea - 2

7. WolfbrotherKronos - 3

(8. Mr. Mashi - 1)


Remember to include me in the PMs. If you don't you will not win any points for the round!

And… Go!

Hooray, I get to draw!

 

Hopefully this time I won't bugger it up by writing text on the picture like that one Pictophone game I played here last year! Ahah.

And now it's up to Rhea to bring us home!

 

Now, I'm thinking, it won't work out properly if we started with a phrase and end with a picture. So, unless we can find one more person to play, I'm going to have my husband interpret Rhea's picture! Any objections?

Okay, Rhea sent me her picture, and my husband just gave me a phrase to match it!

 

Round 1 is over!  Here are the pictures/phrases sent, as well as a break down of everyone's points!

 

Original Phrase:

Bobsled

 

Kronos' Drawing:

Points: 3!  Great job with the simplicity tactic, but a arrow to the bobsled would have given you 5 points.

 

Kukaso's Phrase:

Bobsleigh team slides down the track

 

Points: 4!  Great guess with what the picture showed!

 

Theodora's Drawing:

Points: 5!  Great way of breaking down every word into a phrase, however, I feel that it might have been too difficult to interpret.

 

Aiel Heart's Phrase:

A bobsledding olympic Team slides south down a slope

 

Points: 4!  Near perfect interpretation of Dora's images!

 

Tyler's Drawing:

Points: 4!  Again, great job showing all the words mentioned!

 

Chaelca's Phrase:

The bobsleigh is heading south, down a sunny hill ?

 

Points: 5 (including 1 bonus point for making it into a question)!  Great catch on south!

 

Rhea's Picture:

Points: 2!  Great artistry, but a bobsled usually has four people in it.

 

Mr. Mashi's Phrase:

Luge

 

Points: 1!  He didn't try very hard, I'm thinking.  :P

 

That was a great Round 1!  I will move everyone's name up a place in line, and we can start Round 2!

Ahaha! :laugh:  I wasn't sure if it's just bobsleigh or a more complicated phrase so I decided to include all possible words  :laugh:

 

I'll send a picture a little bit later.

The bobsled looks fun.

 

The luge looks insane.

 

Seriously, give it a watch when it's on  :tongue:
